Good, a bit slow at times. Not very gripping but entertaining.

Introducing an instant classic--master storyteller Neil Gaiman presents a dazzling version of the great Norse myths.
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people. Gaiman stays true to the myths while vividly reincarnating Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki, the son of a giant, a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. From Gaiman’s deft and witty prose emerges the gods with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to dupe others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.

As a Dane building boats in Norway I have come close to the Norse world ~ I am glad that an American took the reins on this, and told in such a beautiful voice these tales that we should not forget! Pass them on ~

Hyggelig genfortælling af de gamle historier. Får en til at ville genlæse “Erik menneskesøn” for også at læse de mindre kendte historier. Dejlig oplæser.

Det er sjovt at høre de nordiske guders navne udtalt på engelsk. Men det er nogle gode fortolkninger og forfatteren er en dygtig indlæser.

God og sjov fortolkning af nordisk mytologi, fortælleren som også er forfatteren er rigtig god! Værd at lytte til hvis man kan lide nordisk mytologi

Again an excellent book, with all the wit and craft of Gaiman's original storytelling, yet very true to the original myths.
